Is it permissible for my maternal uncle, who is my mother's full brother, to marry my daughter?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Your maternal uncle is not permitted to marry your daughter, because he is an uncle to your sons and daughters. Every daughter of a sister is محرم (unmarriageable). This includes the daughter of a daughter of a sister, and the daughter of a son of a sister. The proof for this is the Almighty's saying: "Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, the daughters of a brother, and the daughters of a sister."
